PBR Future Games Spotlight: RHP Tyler Thompson



By Doug Hall
Tennessee Director of Scouting

The Prep Baseball Report Future Games Powered By Under Armour is a one-of-a-kind event featuring the top Class of 2016 prospects from across the PBR coverage area. The 4th annual Future Games will take place at Grand Park in Westfield, IN from July 31-August 2 where hundreds of scouts from across the country will fill the stands to watch some of the top uncommitted 2016 prospects across our coverage area.

Tennessee will have three players who participate on Team Select which will feature players from several different states.  Tennessee will have its own team in the event beginning in 2015.  Below we take a look at one of the Tennessee players in the event.

Player: Tyler Thompson
Position:
RHP
Class: 2016
High School: Hardin Valley Academy
State:
Tennessee

NA

6-5

At 6-foot-5, 180 pounds, the combination of Thompson's frame and upper 80's fastball will undoubtedly make him a highly coveted prospect on the mound.  He will be one of eight pitchers to take the ball for Team Select during the course of the event.
